I think this is a different type of trust. SpaceX had to prove their competence to be trusted for US government contracts (and other customers). They did that and I would trust their technical competence.

However, after the events of the past few years, especially last 12 months, they have lost a more important kind of trust.


Events include:

Early in the war, Starlink used their killswitch to prevent Ukraine from utilizing their service for military purposes.

The sitting US president has threatened war against Greenland. He has not backed down or apologized, merely moved on hoping we would forget.

You'd have to be crazy to pick Starlink under these circumstances.
